Unify Your Business Continuity
Planning Process
Centralize your BCP program, from planning and objective setting to communication, testing, and crisis management. This unified approach includes documenting business continuance and recovery procedures, tracking plan testing, performing impact analysis and managing plan implementation and incident response. Start with best-practices templates for every process that can be customized to meet your exact requirements.
Develop Detailed
Plans And Procedures
Identify, track and evaluate your mission-critical processes, systems and procedures. Develop detailed plans for infrastructure and process recovery in the event of a critical threat to those systems. Connect teams with the plans, processes and information they need to avoid disruption to the organization and its ongoing operations.
Put Your Plans
Into Action
Coordinate emergency response activities and ensure attention is paid to key business processes. Send automated alerts to the right people and teams when a crisis is unfolding to ensure that your response is initiated rapidly. Integrate with your existing emergency notification system to fully automate the entire process.
Plan Recovery Strategies

Verify And Validate Your
Plans And Procedures
